After seven weeks in the shop, owner Brett recently took home Project 33, just in time for some Spring riding. By the time Brett finally convinced his brother-in-law to part with his baby, a 1993 VFR750, the bike had spent too much time idle, the carbs hopelessly clogged, mice in the airbox, tires past their due date, maintenance lagging. Time was beginning to take its toll so we immediately set out to make it right.
First up were the carburetors, then mechanical checks and tuning, followed by brakes, forks, passenger peg removal and, finally, cleaning/body detailing. Along the way heated grips were added as well as a Mosfet regulator/rectifier. With only 11,000 miles, the bike responded well to the attention, rewarding Brett with a beautiful rider-grade VFR to be proud of. I found the bike to run smooth and strong, the deep, mellow sound track from the Predator exhaust being the perfect accompaniment to the V4 riding experience.
It's great to see another VFR brought back to the road, and I wish Brett many years and miles with his family treasure.
